Until two generations ago, people usually died suddenly, after an accident or serious illness. Now, most of us may expect our dying to take longer, to require more care, and to demand more forethought than ever before. This book is addressed to all those who wish to approach the final years of life with greater awareness of what to expect and greater confidence about how to make the end of our lives a time of growth, comfort and meaningful reflection. Written by Dr. Joanne Lynn and a team of physicians, this book provides equal measures of practical information and wise counsel. Readers will learn what decisions they will need to face; what choices are available to them; where to look for help; how to ease pain and other symptoms; what to expect with specific diseases; how the health-care system operates; and how the entire experience affects dying persons, their families, and their friends. This book is intended for the general reader and professionals working with the terminally ill.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49538824536337,"sku":"GOR001476417","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50420448067857,"sku":"CIN0195116623VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50761585197329,"sku":"CIN0195116623G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51427002679569,"sku":"GOR014270798","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0195116623.jpg?v=1750737870"},{"product_id":"handbook-for-mortals-book-joanne-lynn-9780195146011","title":"Handbook for Mortals","description":"Addresses to those who wish to approach the final years of life with awareness of what to expect and greater confidence about how to make the end of our lives a time of growth, comfort, and meaningful reflection.

In this important, convincing, and long-overdue call for health care reform, Joanne Lynn demonstrates that our current health system, like our concepts of health and disease, developed at a time when life was mostly short, serious illnesses and disabilities were common at every age, and dying was quick. Today, most Americans live a long life, with the disabilities and discomforts of progressive chronic illness appearing only during the final chapters of their life stories. Sick to Death and Not Going to Take It Anymore! maintains that health care and community services are not set up to meet the needs of the large number of people who face a prolonged period of progressive illness and disability before death. Lynn offers what she calls an \"owner's manual for the health care system,\" which lays out facts, concepts, strategies, and action plans for genuine reform and gives the reader new ways to interpret information creatively, imagine innovative possibilities, and take steps to implement them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50353011458321,"sku":"CIN0520243005VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50355949601041,"sku":"CIN0520243005G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521266704657,"sku":"NLS9780520243002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520243005.jpg?v=1751197300"},{"product_id":"paralegal-career-starter-book-joanne-lynn-9781576853986","title":"Paralegal Career Starter","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52100550885649,"sku":"CIN1576853985G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781576853986.jpg?v=1757090020"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-joanne-lynn.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
